Essure Birth Control Lawsuit

The popular birth control device Essure is being withdrawn from the U.S. market after thousands of women suffered serious injuries. Over 16,000 lawsuits have already been filed against Essure’s manufacturer, Bayer Pharmaceuticals.

If you or a loved one had Essure Birth Control inserted and suffered an injury or complication, you may be entitled to compensation through an Essure Birth Control Lawsuit.

Essure is a non-surgical, permanent birth control implant manufactured by Bayer. Essure works by causing scar tissue to build up in the fallopian tubes, and is 99.3 percent effective at preventing pregnancy.

Essure was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2002, and over 750,000 devices have been sold.

Reports of serious side effects from Essure led to widespread efforts by public safety advocates to recall the device. In 2017, Bayer removed Essure from all markets outside of the U.S. and announced in July 2018 that Essure would be removed from the U.S. by the end of the year.

Over 16,000 women have filed lawsuits against Bayer, claiming that Essure caused serious injuries and other complications.

Essure lawsuits claim that Bayer failed to report the device’s serious side effects, and even lied on its application for Essure’s approval. Other allegations include:

• Failing to report adverse events from Essure
• Failure to warn patients and healthcare providers about the risks of Essure
• Using aggressive marketing to encourage doctors to “sell” Essure to a large number of patients
• Failing to properly train doctors on how to use Essure

The first Essure birth control lawsuits are expected to go to trial in 2018, with the majority of the cases filed in California, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.
